Is there a taper on the first strip or do you just bend it along your reference line ? I would love to use a caulking effect. It has been suggested that a black marker can be used. I have found it hard to draw a black line on this type of timber. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Neon,
This is how mine worked out.
I used quick grab/rapid cure Aliphatic glue, it gives you time to make adjustments, superglue will set far to quickly!!
The first row of planking followed the reference line nicely until it reached the bow, where I let it do it`s own thing and rise above the line.
The gap left at the bow can be sorted with a small infil and won`t show when all the bow work is done.
The caulking I done with a permanent black marker, firstly ran a fine sandpaper along the edge, this stops ink bleeding to far into the plank.
The marker was bought from Staples and has a large wedge end, so just ran along each edge of the plank and it worked fine.
Hope this helps,
Regards
